Programmes Senior Associate (responsible for information management and analysis)

• Reporting to: Global Programmes Director

• Location: Central London (Vauxhall)

About the Organisation

United World Schools is dedicated to improving the educational opportunities of poor and marginalised children around the world. By providing children with a basic education, we are striking at the heart of long term poverty and deprivation – a long game but one we are tackling head on and with ambition and commitment. UWS provides a flexible education model that is simple yet effective in remote regions. The model follows the national curriculum, whilst supporting teachers to implement educational programmes that are appropriate for the contexts in which they are working.

We are a  growing team of 16 staff based in London and we have a much bigger team delivering our programmes in Cambodia, Myanmar and Nepal. All of our staff are incredibly passionate about what they do, and committed to going above and beyond for the cause. In London, where this role would be based, we have a fun and dynamic office environment featuring team socials, music, Bake Off sweepstakes and the occasional team karaoke night! The  Programmes Senior Associate would also be required to fly out and support some of our projects, and see first-hand what it means to provide education in remote and marginalised communities. 

Role Summary 

The Senior Associate will be at the beating heart of a programmatic growth journey that will see an additional 30,000+ more children be able to go to school in the next few years. The role will engage with and support all areas of UWS operations - measuring, analysing and effectively reporting on the impact (direct and long-term) of our programmes as well as being responsible for ensuring that our monitoring and reporting systems are robust and effective.  The role will make a significant contribution to the successful operations of the Programmes team and further develop the communication and support channels between Programmes, Partnerships and Fundraising. 

A key aspect of the role will be to fully utilise a new programmatic data management system that is being developed for UWS by ‘Beyondme’ (the charitable wing of Deloitte) to support the in-country teams in improving their monitoring, evaluation and reporting. You will also work closely with the Fundraising and Communication teams to enhance our reporting capacity and ensure that the evidence of impact that we gather, (through our monitoring, as well as case studies, focus groups, stories and films) is being conveyed in a compelling and accessible way. Through this, you will play a vital role in supporting a wide range of our stakeholders including major institutional funders, trusts and foundations, as well as our exciting partnerships with corporates and schools across the globe.

Responsibilities (including, but not limited to):

• Lead responsibility for the quality of UWS monitoring and information management and the systems and procedures used for this.  Identify and adopt models of best practice and relevant external research, to ensure that UWS’ data management and analysis is as efficient and effective as possible.

• Responsibility for developing and maintaining a fit-for-purpose, high quality central database for all UWS operations. 

• Ensure that UWS’ planning is evidence-driven and that relevant information is accessible for all teams.

• Introduce and quality assure effective systems and procedures for collecting and using information and data in-country.

• Lead the training of UWS staff in data management and analysis where necessary. Significant technical capabilities not required here, as training opportunities will be available.

• Responsibility for the quantitative and qualitative (case studies, stories, photos, films etc) monitoring, analysis and reporting of UWS’ (direct and long-term) impact.

• Monitor and maintain the quality and accessibility of information and data across the organisation, as required – for example UWS’s google drive documents.

• Responsibility for all UWS information/data reports and dashboards as required for the changing and growing needs of UWS and its stakeholders.

• Support the SMT and Communication Directors (in-country) to ensure the efficient and sufficient flow of information between the different teams and countries within UWS.

• Support all areas of work of the UK Programmes team, as required.

Knowledge and core competencies

• Educated to degree level, ideally with previous experience in a similar position

• Strong relationship building skills with proven ability to liaise with a diverse range of stakeholders, including communicating remotely with teams in the field

• Ability to think and work strategically - identifying the right opportunities for impact and leading their delivery with confidence

• Strong project management skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment and prioritise work and juggle multiple things at once

• A high level of numeracy and confident analysing data and managing dashboards (or a willingness to learn!)

• Ability to research, set up and train others in new systems and procedures for monitoring and managing  information

• Strong skills in analysing and evaluating information, and a broad understanding of the issues around impact evaluation in development education

• Ability to produce high quality reports, proposals, presentations and other communications to a range of current and potential stakeholders

Head of Operations

The Good Food Institute Europe

Helping people, animals and the planet by building a new organisation in Europe to promote plant-based and cultivated meat

Industrial animal agriculture is at the root of many of the most pressing global issues of our time, from climate change and global hunger to antibiotic resistance and the exploitation of billions of animals annually.

The Good Food Institute (GFI) is at the forefront of the movement to use food technology and markets to replace the products of industrial animal agriculture with plant-based and cultivated alternatives. 

We are just getting started in Europe and are looking for a Head of Operations to help build, from scratch, an effective and impactful organisation.

How You Will Make a Difference

Your role will have high responsibility and high impact. Reporting directly to the Managing Director of GFI Europe, you will be in charge of setting up and running the entire day-to-day operations of GFI in Europe, starting with our bases in the UK and Belgium. Your performance in this role has the potential to make a significant impact on how quickly Europe and the world moves to a more ethical and sustainable food system.

Alongside the Head of Operations, we are also recruiting for a Head of Philanthropy and Development. Together with the Managing Director, you will form the nucleus of our new organisation and help to drive concrete change in the European and global food system. We will start off as a small team, and plan to grow in future.

The Head of Operations will:

• Establish and run all aspects of GFI Europe’s operations - building, from the ground-up, an effective, impactful, happy organisation. 
• Work with the Managing Director for Europe to oversee GFI Europe’s establishment as a legal entity and registered charity in the UK. Liaise with the UK Charity Commission to secure charitable status, and ensure ongoing compliance with the Charity Commission’s requirements.
• Ensure GFI Europe is fully legally compliant by liaising with lawyers.
• Establish GFI Europe’s financial presence and ensure banking and accounting needs are met and managed in partnership with an accounting firm.
• Serve as our human resources manager and create and implement GFI Europe’s human resources and payroll system, including maintenance of employee files, hiring and separation protocols, government reporting, grievance procedures, and all other workplace issues. Review and periodically update the GFI Europe Employee Handbook and respond to staff inquiries regarding GFI’s policies.
• Oversee new employee recruitment efforts, including writing job descriptions, evaluating candidates, onboarding and training.
• Negotiate and manage relationships and contracts with lawyers, accountants, insurers, PR agencies, and other service providers.
• Coordinate with GFI colleagues in the USA to ensure compliance with GFI’s financial and legal reporting systems and obligations.  
• Oversee administrative,  IT and technical needs and requirements of the organization, including helping to find and manage office space, etc.
• Organize team retreats and travel.
• Manage a GFI Europe Intern and Fellow Program, including assisting with intern/fellow onboarding and management.
• Assist the Managing Director, providing diary, administrative and research support as required.
• Perform the above duties for both of GFI Europe’s legal entities, in the UK and Belgium. Over time, oversee and drive GFI’s expansion to other countries in Europe, including setting up legal entities and operational systems in those countries.
• Represent GFI Europe in meetings with stakeholders and potentially at public events.
• Perform any other duties assigned by the Managing Director. As we are a start-up, you will be expected to help with a wide range of different functions on an ad hoc basis.

Who We’re Looking For

You must have:

• A passion for our philosophy and mission.
• A commitment to building GFI Europe as a successful organisation for the long term.
• At least 2 years of experience in operations, administration, HR, finance or other relevant field (interpreted broadly).
• Comfort working in a new, small, growing and evolving organization.
• A passion for devising and managing effective systems, fixing problems, and ensuring accurate administration.
• A personality that gets enjoyment and satisfaction out of making things run smoothly and ‘making the magic happen’.
• A very strong work ethic and self-motivation; a sense of ownership and responsibility to drive outcomes.

• Excellent people-skills — the ability to communicate, influence, build alliances, network and work well in a team.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Ability to work well independently and under pressure, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and meet deadlines.
• A positive, can-do, hands-on attitude. You must be willing to help with a range of tasks, some of which will be repetitive and unglamourous, and some of which may be unrelated to your core tasks.
• A high degree of organization and efficiency.

The ideal candidate would also have:

• Experience in successfully managing relationships with lawyers and accountants.
• Experience in successfully setting up a new organisation from scratch - e.g. a UK charity.
• Experience in successfully creating and managing systems in a start-up environment.
• Experience in fundraising and development.
• Ability to communicate well in one or more major EU language other than English. 
• Experience managing a team.

We want the best people and we don’t want biases holding us back. We strongly encourage people of every race, orientation, age, gender, origin, and ability to apply. Because we value a diverse workplace, we prioritize an inclusive climate absent of discrimination and harassment during the application process and after you join the team.
